Welcome

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth, harmony, and well-being. Here you will find options to help you explore and transform yourself, and your important relationships.

As a collaborative, solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve current challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

A key part of any change is understanding; once you understand the emotional patterns that lead to current behaviors, we can work to create positive and dynamic change. Together, we will work toward repairing the past emotional injuries and hurts that have led to patterns of disconnection and separation.

Central to my therapeutic focus is the neuroscience of Attachment Theory. This psychological theory states very simply that, as human beings, one of our central needs is to love and be loved, in the relationships that matter to us. As social beings, our brains are hard-wired for connection. When connection is lost, we often respond with defensive or protective thoughts and behaviors. Noticing and naming our present emotional experience in relationship is the beginning step toward healing. Building awareness and skill in bringing our unconscious relational dynamics to the surface in the present moments of relationship helps to create the transformations that endure outside of the therapy office.

It can be hard to reach out for help, and it makes it even harder if you are left hanging, waiting for a reply. It's easy to get in touch with me, and I am committed to replying to your inquiry within 24 hours. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or relationship dynamic, or you are just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Please call or email me for an individual, couple, or family therapy consultation today, and rest assured that I will get back to you within a day.

My practice, located in the Juanita Bay area of Kirkland, WA, serves Seattle's North and Eastside neighborhoods including Kirkland, Bothell, Norkirk, Finn-Hill, Kenmore, Redmond, Woodinville, and beyond.
